Actually, PTSD is well documented to exist as a reaction to bullying, which is an existential threat, since it can threaten housing, employment, social acceptance, etc. and loss of any or all of these can be life threatening. People commit suicide in response to bullying, all too often. Adults, as well as children.

The first link below is to a review and metaanalysis on this topic.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a ... 8915000026

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3287974/

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/so ... adult-ptsd

the most reliable source you link (NIH) goes with the physical nature of the trauma.

That particular article is exclusively focused on school bullying, which has a large physical component. The focus there is on children, and children resort to violence more readily than adults, because there are fewer social consequences for them when doing so.

In domestic violence, there is also a huge psychological component, often including prolonged "grooming" of the battered spouse before any physical violence occurs, and sadly there are still limited social/legal consequences for spousal battery, even today.

In the psychological trauma that occurs in workplace bullying and most adult social aggression, the physical dimension is drastically reduced - by adulthood, in workplaces, the *more sophisticated* bullies find other MOs. The existential threat to the target is not reduced at all by this shift - generally it's heightened because the consequences to the target are potentially so drastic.

If the intent of your posts is to deny the reality of psychological injury and the severity of damage resulting from same, which is what I am perceiving as their fundamental intent, then we are in profound, likely permanent disagreement. It happens; life goes on.

if you read my previous posts, you will see that i don't discount emotional trauma. it just doesn't fit the criteria for ptsd.

Frustration that my habit of picking at rough spots on my skin has resulted in a bloody lip - again - and I can't seem to quell this urge no matter how often I injure or damage myself.

How exactly do those threads get resurrected?
When there isn't even a functional search bar?
Do they use google?
It's freaky to read what I wrote 3 years ago.

Basically, doing an internet search using your username as, I've found archived posts of my own from wrongplanet.

There are times I get suspicious for weird reasons. Then most of it came true. :lol:
And no. I'm not paranoid nor some cynic. It's just weird things and thoughts coming to me at random times. I just conclude stuff for fun so I don't usually take certain conclusions seriously -- even if it did came true, with evidences backing up said conclusions.

Something tells me, for the past several months, right at this very forum, a group of usernames are actually a group of trolls posing as clueless autistics.
Inciting certain topics, certain ideas... That aims to divide and cause conflict.

But ah, don't mind what I'm rambling about. :lol: It's just a 'guess' :twisted: a 'theory'. It could've happened in the past, and then it can and had been resolved all over again.

It would surprise me if there were no trolls at all.
This site is fair game for the twisted and bored.
We rely on the mods to weed them out.

We also rely on the sound,rational words of Temeraire to help get rid of trolls too!

It seems a lot of the ancestors of modern day animals were so much bigger - sharks, dragonflies, rabbits, beavers, even guinea pigs. I wonder why that is. Maybe because there was a lot more oxygen in the atmosphere? I once heard that if there was twice as much oxygen than there is now a lot of bugs and insects would be huge and like something out of an old B-movie.
